रूपं महत्ते बहुवक्त्रनेत्रं
महाबाहो बहुबाहूरुपादम्
बहूदरं बहुदंष्ट्राकरालं
दृष्ट्वा लोकाः प्रव्यथितास्तथाहम्

rūpaṃ mahatte bahuvaktranetraṃ
mahābāho bahubāhūrupādam
bahūdaraṃ bahudaṃṣṭrākarālaṃ
dṛṣṭvā lokāḥ pravyathitāstathāham

TRANSLATION

Beholding Your great form with many mouths and eyes with many arms, thighs, and feet, with many stomachs and terrible with many teeth, the worlds tremble, and I too quake, O mighty-armed.

PURPORT

Beholding Your mighty form, as described earlier, which is an exceedingly terrifying figure because of the large teeth—all the worlds, described earlier and containing three kinds of beings, friendly, antagonistic and neutral, and I myself too have become panic-stricken.
